    The People Behind iXZepta

    Two practitioners who have each lived the cost of a decision gone wrong, and built the tools they wished they had.

    Klaus Kummermehr

    Klaus Kummermehr

    Founder

    For more than 15 years, Klaus has worked at the intersection of investment, governance, and strategic decision-making. As a venture capital investor, board member, and entrepreneur, he repeatedly observed the same pattern: teams appeared aligned, decisions felt rational, and confidence was high, yet critical assumptions remained invisible until execution failed.

    That observation became the foundation of iXZepta: a system designed to detect hidden decision risks before organizations commit.

    • General Partner and Managing Partner at SNGLR Capital
    • IMD Board Director Diploma
    • VC Lab graduate, member of a global network of 1,000+ venture funds
    • Background in systems thinking, cybernetics, and organizational decision-making
    • Entrepreneur and technology investor since 2010
    Prasad Ramakrishnan

    Prasad Ramakrishnan

    Co-Founder

    As a former COO and transformation executive who has lived & worked in four continents, Prasad has over three decades of experience developing strategy and leading execution across industries, cultures, and countries. His experience revealed a recurring pattern: the greatest obstacles to successful execution are often rooted not in capability or intent, but in hidden human dynamics. That practitioner insight shapes iXZepta’s combination of AI-powered intelligence and human-centered advisory.

    • Global transformation executive across Fortune 500, private, and family-owned enterprises
